411 hotline,
7X7 keeper, thinking to offer Ethier(can keep for 2012) for Pedroia (cant keep for 2012, as noone in rounds 1-3 can be kept), need homeruns, few more runs and a better avg, think Dustin is about to light it up. I have McCutchen(K), Stanton(K), Ellsbury, Seth Smith, with Fuld/Luke Scott rotating on the lefty pitchers. Aviles is present 2nd baseman, Callaspo backup (MI spot).

I have no problem with that deal. Even though I’m not too sure that it fits your categorical needs (mainly homers), you would be getting a significant upgrade at 2B and although it hurts that you can’t keep Pedroia for 2012, play to win now!

Hi Guys –
Do you think Mark Melancon will maintin the CL job? Who would you grab off of the wire: Ludwick, L. Morrison, Damon, Brantly, or Helton? I need power but trend away from power-only (low AVG/OBP) players. Love the show and the site. THanks in advance.

I don’t think Melancon is on the hot seat quite yet, especially considering the Astros’ lack of viable alternatives. However, Wilton Lopez is the logical handcuff. He’s been pitching very well of late.

Nah, I think Padilla’s still the guy. He’s just been dealing with forearm stiffness so that’s why Guerrier picked up the last save. Now, considering that Padilla is fresh off the DL, this is a little concerning and I might pick up Guerrier if you’ve got an open roster slot…but not at the expense of Padilla.

Hey Zach, I’m in a 10 team league. I’ve been offered Pence, E Aybar, and Scherzer for D Wright, A Bailey and Venters. What do you think. I could use the OF and SP help, and I’ll still be strong in RPs.

Close call as Bailey’s nearing a return and is a top-10 closer when healthy, but I’m OK with this trade. Scherzer is, if not an ace, at least a strong No. 2 SP and Pence looks like he’s in line for a career year. Wright’s injury situation is a little scary too.

Hey guys! I am struggling in offense and I made some moves. I traded Alex Rodriguez, Carlos Pena, Alfonso Soriano, and Jaime Garcia. I’m returned I get Mark Teixeira, Curtis Granderson, and Placido Polanco. Was this a good move to improve my offense? What do you guys think? Thanks and much appreciated.

I like it. A-Rod just doesn’t look like the same player as he’s been in years past, Pena’s a huge AVG liability and Soriano is frustratingly streaky. Garcia’s pitching like a top-15 SP but you’re getting more than enough in return here.

In a 10 team AL/NL league would you give up Ervin Santana and Roninson Cano for Clayton Kershaw and Evan Longoria………Or I can give up CJ Wilson for Evan Longoria strait up. Do you think either are worth my time?

Hey guys! I am in a 12 team head to head mixed league. My OF players are Logan Morrison, Nick Markakis, and Austin Jackson. Should I drop any of these guys and pick up Andre Ethier from the waiver list??

Hello guys! I have Mark Teixeira and Miguel Cabrera as my 1B in a 12 team head to head league. I have Casey McGehee as my 3B. I am looking to up grade my 3B spot. Should I trade Miguel Cabrera for Andrian Beltre?? Or just stick with Casey and keep Cabrera?? What you guys think? Thank You and I am a big fan of your show. Keep up the good work!

Hello Fantasy experts! Should I drop 2B Ryan Roberts and pick up Gordon Beckham from the waiver list?? Who is going to be more productive?? Or should I just pick up Beckham without dropping Roberts?? I do have an extra spot on my bench. What do you guys think? Thank You.
